" Many accidents caused by hot crimping-irou have been reported but none has been more strange and serious that that which occurred to Mrs. Pool , of Plainfleld , N. J. , a few day ago. Mrs. Pool was curling her hair , when the hot iron slipped and struck the center of her left eye. Cold water was at once applied , and con siderable relief was had for a time. Later , however , the eye pained eo badly that Mrs. Pool fainted. The next day the right eye was affected and the attending oculist now says that it is likely the sight of both will be lost. Says the Portland ( Me. ) Express : "Tho sight of a young man going to school these mornings with his books under one arm and a big bull dog pipe projecting from his mouth is one of end-of-the century incidents that teach people that the youth of today is somewhat different from the one of 'ye olden times. ' One would think so ; but it is unfair to the youth of to day to take the urchin mentioned as a sample. There were boys who were no honor to their friends even in the good old times. " J. E.

Ruryrlslns itwultH of KxiierlmcntH Madr by a Noted ISrltUh Sctuntist. * How long does it take a man to think ? Professor Richet , at the recent meeting of the British association , gave the results of his investigations into this subject. He found that by mentally running up the notes of the musical scale for one or more octaves and then dividing the total time by the number of notes thought of , the time taken for each note was one- eleventh of a second. There are va rious ways of arriving at conclusions as to the amount of time necessary for realizing any physical sensation or mental impression. If the skin be touched repeatedly with light blows from a small hammer a person may , according to Professor Richet , distin guish the fact that the blows are sep arate and not continuous pressure when they follow one another as fre quently as 1,000 a second. The small est intervals of sound can be much better distinguished with one ear than with both. Thus the separateness of the clicks of a revolving toothed wheel was noted by one observer when they did not exceed sixty to the second , but using both ears he could not distin guish them when they occurred oftener - er than fifteen times a second. The sharp sound of the electric spark of an induction coil was distin guished with one ear when the rate was as high as 500 to the second. Sight is much less keen than hearing in dis tinguishing differences. If a disc half white and half black be revolved , it will appear gray when its revolutions excaed twenty-four per second. It has been found that we can hear far more rapidly than we can count , so that if a clock-clicking movement runs faster than ten to the second we can couni four clicks , while with twenty to the second we can only count two of them. The lilrils' Balance of Tower. In a recent lecture Prof. Wilmer Stone of Philadelphia cited many facts to show that birds are nature's great check on the excess of insects , and that they keep the balance between plants and insect life. Ten thousand caterpillars , it has been estimated , could destroy every blade of grass on an acre of cultivated ground. In thir ty days from the time it is hatched an ordinary caterpillar increases 10,000 times in bulk , and the food it lives and grows on is vegetable. The insect population of a single cherry tree in fested with aphides was calculated by a prominent entomologist at no less than 12,000,000 ! The bird population of cultivated districts has been esti mated at from 700 to 1,000 per square mile. This is small compared with the number of insects , yet as each bird consumes hundreds of insects every day the latter are prevented from be coming the scourge they would he but for their feathered enemies. Use for Old Gold. One of the most sensible "fads" among the girls just now is to save up all their old jewelry , old gold thimbles which have the tops worn off , gold fob chains , gold bracelets , and pins , and even necklaces , and take them to some reliable jeweler , who will either molt them down and make what she wants out of them , or else will exchange them , allowing her for the weight of the gold. One girl made a collection for several years of boken bits of jew elry and , with some of her grandmoth er's added to them , sold them to her own jeweler and now is the happy possessor of a beautiful pearl necklace which she got in exchange. Harper's Bazar. His Sermons too Strong : . Rev. Archimedes Colbert , pastor of a church at Mile Run , Ohio , has preached some sermons so strong that he made many enemies.

The relative size of the earth as compared with the sun is , approxi mately , that of a grain of sand to an orange. The psaltery of Spain is supposed to have been introduced into that coun try by the Moors. It is still in com mon use among the peasants. The eye of the vulture is so con structed that it is a high power tele scope , enabling the bird to see objects at an almost incredible distance. The Eastern hemisphere , on which dwell ninety-two per cent of the pop ulation ct the world , has 170,792 miles of railway , or forty-six per cent of Ell the railways. A snake does not climb a tree or brush by coiling around it , but by holding on with the points of its scales. A snake on a pane of glass is almost helpless.

Bfe' > An English paper tellB a story of the Rev. Mr. Watkinson , a Wesleyan preacher. Some time ago ho was stay ing with a good woman who was yearning for the good old times and mourning the degeneracy of modern days and customs. The Wesleyan ministers of the early part of this century , she said , rose early , and dear Mr. Wesley was in his study at 1 o'clock in the morning. "It is not son's dry reply ; "were Mrs. Watkin son' ; : dry reply ; "were Mr. Watkin son anything like Mrs. Wesley I shuold be up at 2 o'clock. " M. Mounet-Sully , the famous trage dian of Paris , is having built for him self a splendid house near Bcrgero. The construction is to be of commin gled Roman and Byzantine character architecturally , and is described as a veritable palace. The country around is smiling and reposeful. The actor in tends to dwell in the palace perma nently when he retires from the stage. He is a native of the Pcrigord district , and wants to end his days near the spot where he was born , and far from the lumulr of Paris. Paris has , apart from two places where paupers can spend the night , fourteen asylumns for the homeless , which last year lodged 144,037 persons , of whom 15,557 were women and 2,000 children. Among the lodgers were 240 professors and teachers , 18 sutdents , 5 authors , 5 journalists , 120 actors and singers , 30 musicians and 10 music teachers. KuWroud Ktonomy. The Baltimore and Ohio South West ern Railway has been experimenting witli electric motors on turn-tables. Turning locomotives at divisional points and terminals is a service of much annoyance and no little expense to railroad companies. It generally takes four men to turn a locomotive , and while they are doing so their reg ular work is abandoned. Experiments were made with an electric motor on the 00-foot turn table at Chillicothe with such success that the Park Street turn-table in Cincinnati was similarly equipped. The result has been rather astonishing in the matter of expense. The current was purchased from the power plant , and it cost on an average of less than one-half a cent for each time the table was turned. When this same table was operated by hand it cost 12 cents for each engine. The yearly saving is about ? 709. A parcel containing flowers , with out sufficient postage attached , was deposited in the Battle Creek , Alich. , postofilce the other day. Law and cus tom demanded that it be sent to the dead-letter office , but the clerks sur mised that the flowers were intended for a funeral and took up a collection among themselves so that the parcel was sent on its way without delay. There was no clew as to the identy of the person who mailed it , and it was a clear case of casting their bread upon the waters by the postal clerks , even if it did cost them but a few cents at the most.
